I started using 'ps -ef' in the late 80's as a UNIX sysadmin on HP-UX, AIX and SCO. Been using it ever since. To me, it is much more informative than '-ax'. Shows who owns the process and when it was started among other things. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 13:34:00 up 21 days, 21:58, 3 users, load average: 0.02, 0.08, 0.33 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
